Chapter 2 Getting to know the world for the first time
On this day, it was still early and the weather was pleasant. Ah Chen was playing with his friends beside the big rock at the entrance of the village.
"...Then my father flew up and kicked the beast in the belly. It struggled for a long time and ran out of breath after a while." A little boy said.
"Come on, Ah Shun. If your father is so powerful, then why does your father always go in with someone else every time he goes into the forest?" Ah Chen exposed him on the side. Ah Shun immediately became popular.
Face, if he wanted to continue talking, a slightly stronger boy jumped down from the stone: "Why don't we go to the forest to play too?"
"Hey," the tallest boy stamped his foot, "Niu Niu, if your dad finds out about our going to the forest to play, he won't beat you to death!" A look of fear immediately appeared on the face of the boy known as Niu Niu, and he hurriedly waved.
He waved his hand and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going."
"race?"
"Forget it, Ah Chen still has to win the race." Ah Chen blushed, but he was probably pretending. He cleared his throat and asked, "Then what should we play? Xiaoguang, what do you think?"
The tallest boy shook his head and looked away: "Where's Yaya?"
Following Xiaoguang's words, everyone's eyes were focused on the only girl present. Yaya put her hand on her chin and said without thinking: "Since we don't run too far, let's play some quiet guessing games.
Do you still remember?" Everyone nodded. "Each gesture has a different meaning. There are five types in total. Wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood. The one who restrains others wins...
..." Thus, a guessing game covering five gestures began.
But the happy time always ended very suddenly. Xiaoguang was called away by her mother who came unexpectedly. Everyone was not very interested in it. After one person was missing, they all just said hello and went home.
As soon as he got home, Ah Chen saw his grandma cooking in the yard. Just when he was about to chat with Wang Xiulan, a figure walked to the door. Wang Xiulan struck up a conversation with her first.
"Baixing, it's time for dinner, what are you doing?"
"Hey, didn't I just come home and find that my sheep was lost? I went to the forest to look for it."
Hearing this, Wang Xiulan hurriedly put down the firewood in her hand and said, "Then wait a moment, and I'll find a few more people to help you find it."
"No, no, no, you go about your business. I'll just take a look outside the forest and I'll be back before dark." After that, Zhang Baixing left in a hurry.
Speaking of sheep, Ah Chen knew that they were very docile animals with no scary horns on their heads or long fangs in their mouths. They could sell goat milk and wool. He remembered that there were no goats in the whole village.
There are a few. One of them is missing. Uncle Xing must be very anxious. But these are not things that a child can worry about. He only cares about where to go to play after eating.
After the meal was finished, Ah Chen was still thinking about interesting places to go. Chen Wentao walked in from outside, and Wang Xiulan hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "I saw Baixing walking past the door while I was cooking. His sheep..."
"Already found."
"Huh..." Wang Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's time to eat. I'll heat it up for you."
"No, I've already eaten at Zhang's house."
Chen Wentao walked up to Ah Chen, and out of the corner of his eye he accidentally glanced at the light installed at the door of the house, and said on a whim: "Ah Chen, come here, I will teach you how to turn on the light."
It was rare that grandpa was in a mood today and didn't squat at the door of the house smoking all the time. Ah Chen also put away his thoughts, walked off the stage, raised his head and looked at him with round eyes: "Turn on the light? What should I do?"
I saw Chen Wentao wave his hand gently at the light, and the light at the door turned on without hesitation, illuminating the entire yard with just the right light, leaving no blind spots.
Naturally, this is not the first time Ah Chen has seen this magic way of turning on the light. He has tried it before, but the light seems to have a grudge against him. No matter how hard he tries, he can't get any response. He even wants to
It pried it open to see what it was thinking. But today, after seeing the demonstration given by his grandfather, he felt confident, so he also imitated his actions and waved his hand in the same way.
Nothing happens.
The cool night breeze blew across Ah Chen's face, and the light at the door seemed to mock him, emitting the same light as before.
Chen Wentao smiled softly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed at this moment. He taught patiently: "Come on, imagine that there is energy in your abdomen. You just need to wave your hand to let the energy be emitted through the palm of your hand. Like this...
"
Ah Chen just indulged in imitation and practice, and time slipped away unknowingly as he waved his hands.
It was time for bedtime stories again. Ah Chen lay on the bed and stared above: "Grandma, do you think it's dangerous deep in the forest?"
"Of course it is dangerous. There are ligers, wolves, thorns, and cliffs deep in the forest. If you are not careful, you will lose your life there. That's why your uncles have to go in groups.
ah."
On a whim, Ah Chen got up and lay on the bed: "Then Uncle Xing today..."
"That's because he didn't go inside. The depths of the forest are very dangerous, especially at night. If you go in, you won't be able to get out." Looking at Ah Chen's thoughtful look, she suddenly changed the topic,
Said: "Grandpa taught you to turn on the lights today, right?"
Hearing this sentence, Ah Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, it would be so cool to turn on the lights in the distance." As he said this, he suddenly stood up from the bed and began to make all kinds of weird movements.
From time to time, he made a "beep" sound from his mouth. However, suddenly, like a deflated balloon, the excitement in his eyes disappeared, and his arms hung down feebly, "But, in the end, I
I haven’t learned anything either.”
Wang Xiulan patted the bed and motioned for him to lie down, "It's okay, it's still very difficult to learn this. We learned it for a long time back then. By the way, do you know what the principle of turning on and off the light is?" Ah, who was lying down.
Chen shook his head. "It's spiritual energy. Psionic energy can catalyze the reaction of objects, and it can also embellish the world out of nothing. Psionic energy is a gift given to all of us by the God of Creation. The spiritual energy that everyone can use is what they are born with.
Fixed, it is called spiritual talent by people, and some people call it spiritual root. Spiritual talent is divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Which spiritual energy you can call the easiest will explain the attributes of your spiritual talent."
"Then what are the attributes of grandma's spiritual gift?" Her words made Ah Chen become interested in his own spiritual gift.
"It's water." Wang Xiulan said, "Achen, this world is not made of a single element. On the contrary, all the objects in the world are intertwined with many different types of spiritual energy. They are not ignoring each other.
, but promote each other and restrain each other."
"I know this, guessing game!"
"Yes." After saying that, she looked up and looked out the window, "It's getting late today, it's time to go to bed." Ah Chen also closed his eyes in cooperation: "Good night, grandma."
